Established in the 1990’s, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) developed Standards for general practices to encourage general practice to engage with quality improvement and meet best practice standards. A general practice is considered to be accredited when it has received independent assessment against the Standards and has been determined to meet these Standards. From November 2018, practices undergoing accreditation will be assessed against the 5th edition Standards. For detailed information about preparing your practice for accreditation, visit our Resource Library and search under the General Practice Accreditation drop down menu. Alternatively, contact the Practice Assist Help Desk to organise a pre-accreditation mock survey visit from one of our staff.
